I like it too I'm not C/C++ programmer, I'm writting in Delphi but I like C++ and I have experience with Java. And I really like D, for wich I learned due to this forum

You mean D can be used with the APIs like OpenGL or DirectX :unsure: .

It's a new language and I think it might have some serious bugs.

its not yet a full version, so yes it has bugs. but else its great so far..

yes, it can directly use any c lib file, and as gl for example has an opengl32.lib wich exports c-functions, you can use gl.. and about any other libraries existing for c/c++.. sdl for example, too..

thats quite great, because you can for example write plugin-code in d as a dll and load it in your main engine, in c++. plugins should be save as first, and the gc of d helps there very much to easen that savety.

or you write your engine in d, and you use existing c-libraries or code. both doable. a very good features, as there is tons of c-stuff existing..

it doesn't have some serious bugs.. no language has... the implementation can have some serious bugs, though.. and as there is no final implementation yet, its still buggy, yes:D

hey, just to let you know... i started working on a small D engine ( working title D_engine ). so far i have to say that i really started to love D. can't wait for the final 1.0 release. oh btw, davepermen : there is another D ide called DEnv... check out the wiki4D page, they have a link to it. haven't tried it yet because i'm missing the .net framework libs on my laptop. tell me how it is

Hey baldurk, could you remind me of that word? nomoclature or something like that?

What exactly is your objection to the .NET framework?

shhh just don't tell anybody

well actually, i just happened to have too much crashes of .NET at the beginning..

now i have 2005 beta, and i'm happy both with the individual vs' (all quite small, and very efficient and great in usability), and .NET 2.0, wich is stable, and a GREAT platform to work on (generics HORRAY ).

now that i finally got a .NET working, i'm _VERY_ happy with it.

I ported my engine to the .NET 2.0 framework

VS.NET 2005 is a big step up, I am loving it.

So, um when can I use .NET on a solaris box?

no clue. does mono work on solaris?

don't use such proprietary shit and you get new stuff on your system, too..

no, welll.. but does linux opensource stuff work normally in solaris? if so, mono will get quickly ported. if not, i guess it'll take some time.
